hey everyone I could use some feedback on my game for the jam. Whether you love or hate it some feedback would be very appreciated. Is it boring, fun, easy, hard, what improvements could be made on design or art assets. Pretty much anything you could think to help me improve for my next project would be most welcome, thanks for your time :) here is the link to my game. https://itch.io/jam/vimjam/rate/767649
Hi, I just wanted to give you a bit of feedback from my perspective in terms of visibility and accessibility for you game submission . First thing I noticed is that your thumbnail and screenshots are very dark (I do realize that its a dark/horror game) so it means against other games it doesn't stand out. If your game is dark it might help to pop off the page with a bright title or something else to make it stand out? Also, it might help to include a GIF or Video of the gameplay so people can have a better gauge of what your game is about before they download.
I went to try and install your game and noticed that it was quite a big download file compared to other entries (Unreal engine so I get it) but that might put some people off from installing and trying it. And when I did try to run it, my machine wanted me to install new software "Unreal directx runtime" that other games haven't needed and to be honest, that did put me off. I'm not sure if this is a requirement to play all Unreal engine games?
Hey thanks for the feedback! I appreciate it, thanks for the accessibility and visibility tips! I will remember that for future projects. As to the size I'm still unsure exactly how to reduce the game size better in ue4 though I did better in this game than I did in past ones but I do understand how some would definitely be turned away after seeing other folks files so small seems I need to do some more research on how to get it even smaller 馃檪 after some research I found that "Unreal directx runtime" is a dependacy that ue4 uses so as far as I could find seemed pretty normal. I don't get that from running it myself course it's probably installed with the engine. Though I definitely understand getting the leery feeling about it. I really appreciate your time to give me some feedback and will definitely dive into improving myself in all of what you said, your awesome!
